Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Zip Top Boat and Tote Large

I love these bags! They have become go-to gifts for births , graduations , weddings always appreciated and used

Top notch construction. Nice embroidery. Extremely thick cotton tote. Worth the money.

Tote holds a lot. I liked mine so much, I've given several of these totes as gifts. Perfect tote bag

I purchased this tote bag because I wanted a tote bag that could hold all my stuff and also look good. I love this bag it is the perfect size for my needs. It is good looking a strong enough to carry anything I put in it. I am very happy with my purchase.

My old tote finally fell apart about ten years of use, so I immediately replaced it. I am so glad the quality has remained the same!

Bought as a high school graduation gift with the graduate's initials on the outside. Filled with a blanket ordered from the bookstore of the college she will attend, the strap colors of the bag matched her college colors. A perfect graduation gift. The graduate LOVED it.

I bought my first Boat and Tote, Zip-top, Extra Large 11 years ago. I purchased it for my first grandchild so she could have a bag to go to Grandma's and spend the night or weekend. Since then I have bought each of my grandchildren a bag soon after they are born. I just purchased my fifth bag! They are big enough to pack for a week with children's clothes. (Along with diapers and other items) Super sturdy. The only issue I had was on one bag that was my 8 year old grandsons some of the threads of canvas unraveled and got caught in the zipper preventing it from zipping. With a pair of scissors I was able to simply clip the threads and it has been working great for the last year. I had them all personalized with their names. I absolutely recommend these bags!

heavy duty material; I am very pleased

Great quality, I love this tote.

I bought these bags for our end of year teachers gifts. They're durable and strong and our teachers love them!!

As a busy working musician I'm in and out of many different venues and I always look to eliminate trips back to my truck to get gear. One trip in - one trip out is my goal. This x-Large Tote is perfect and allows me to fit two heads and my cable bag within and zip it closed. This bag doesn't break a sweat. I ordered the long handles which work perfectly. Highly recommend for my fellow musician friends.

I have several of these bags, unbelievable quality and sturdy to carry mist anything you need to tote around. These totes are a lifetime purchase. Roomy and fun to add embossing to for bag theme. Great gifts!!

Great and very durable

I've had these bags for years, my entire family uses them and loves them! They last forever, they're durable and rugged and perfect for any occasion!

I have purchased several of these bags over the years. I use them when I am traveling. It is large enough to care my personal items along with any purchases I make while on vacation. The zippered top keeps my items secure. Before I leave on my trip, I spray my bag with waterproofing. That makes it very easy to wipe clean, if it gets dirty. I bought a large bag for my daughter. She uses hers to store the craft items she is working on.

I buy this as gifts ( think newborn, hs graduation, college) It is sturdy, big, functional.

This bag was one of many I've purchased as baby gifts! I pick a nice colored bag with an original font and font color. Every parent who has received them has loved them. Great for day trips, to see grandparents, or a longer trip. I get the totes that have zippered tops.

Great product; decade after decade!

I love it. The color is amazing and I love the monogramming

This was just the size tote I was looking for, and the zippered top made it even better. Now I could tuck this one inside the large (matching) tote and be prepared for anything! It is also easy to take out of the large tote when I'm going shopping, but I love the big tote for picking up the mail - what a perfectly matched set!

This is our 4th one. This is the largest one we have ordered. They are very versatile and rugged. Clean up easily and always look nice. Great quality all around.

LL Bean makes the most well made, durable, utilitarian, smart looking tote on the market. I would highly recommend that LL Bean change the name from "boat tote" to "universal tote". This name would suit it better because it can be used as a book bag for school, a purse, additional storage, groceries, overnight bag, tools, gardening, and finally as a boat tote. Oh, it makes a perfect hostess gift! Fill and give.

Every new baby in our family gets one of these bags, extra large, long handle with the zipper. (The new moms and/or dads are pretty excited too!) They are the best travel bags. Whether it's packing up for a trip to the beach or to camp, a weekend away or even just lugging groceries, these tote bags are convenient, extremely durable and you can fit a ton in them. Plus they're really heavy duty, waterproof and last forever (my tote is 11 years old and not a tear or busted seam and it's used weekly hauling stuff to camp). I only wish they still came in more color combinations, for instance mine is red with black handles and a front pocket. Now they're the basic off white canvas with limited handle colors and no front pocket. They should bring back those options for this particular bag. But aside from that I'd definitely recommend this tote 100%!

Love the totes. Very sturdy.

I just received my newest large, zip-top with long handles tote. I am not a big person - just over 5 feet and just under 100 pounds. I use this as my second carry-on bag when traveling. A friend has the XL and also takes it as a carry-on. All the odds and ends get put in this bag. It is flexible, and will squish enough under the seat in front of you on the plane. The top lies flat against the inside of the bag when unzipped and adds a nice pop of color. I had this bag monogrammed and am very pleased with the embroidery (and I'm picky!). My husband will carry this bag. We plan to break it in with a trip out west later this spring.
